'A brilliant, brutal novel' ROBERT MACFARLANE
A girl and a baby. A priest and a poacher. A savage pursuit through the
landscape of a changing rural England.
When a teenage girl leaves the workhouse and abducts a child placed in
her care, the local priest is called upon to retrieve them. Chased
through the Cumbrian mountains of a distant past, the girl fights
starvation and the elements, encountering the hermits, farmers and
hunters who occupy the remote hillside communities. An American
Southern Gothic tale set against the violent beauty of Northern
England, Beastings is a sparse and poetic novel about morality,
motherhood and corruption.
